Yeah, just a few months until 3 years since doctors stopped following the science even in places where masks had been the norm before the pandemic. I wonder if terms like "acceptable losses" and "unavoidable casualties" were used in the messaging to health care professionals for the rollout.

Sure, there are people who can't read COVID studies because they are scientific despite accessible introductions and conclusions, but I've met so many doctors who can't seem to read them for emotional or financial reasons. They tend to be the same ones who tell me LC is a conversion disorder.

The fun part is that in addition to the partial, intermittent paralysis l also can't feel that I haven't completely swallowed something until I move and the bolus of food squeezes my airway closed.

One of my cats eats the plastic fibers off the scratchy ramp we got for her to claw and the dogs to use to get on the couch. It's hard to stop her because she's very sneaky. Before the ramp it was anything in a think plastic film. She can't be left alone with a container of dental floss either.

Can't wait to find out if I'm a rapid progressor or other people really aren't going to get this damage to their T and B cells in another 4.5 years or so. Well, at least doctors will stop telling me there's so few of us that they just can't be fucked with learning how to help us.

Used to watch Olympic events on CBC back when I had a C-band, big-dish satellite late 90s until early 2000s. The announcers got so overwhelmed when Canada would win any kind of medal, especially in the summer sports. It was refreshing, and I can only imagine now in this environment.

Some people move just to get away from the grandparents. I was surprised how effective a 90 minute drive was as a buffer.

I read The Power of the Powerless over a few afternoons waiting to pick my son up from marching band practice. He was similarly unimpressed. I haven't been able to stop thinking about its timeliness for about nine years now.

Yeah, if you told me when I was 15 that in my late 50s I'd be listening to the majority of music I hear over earbuds streaming a compressed signal online instead of through a powerful stereo I'd have laughed, but needs must.

Worth it just for Price's lead-in to The Black Widow. I didn't start getting into his music until about two years after this aired, but when I found the tape in the mid 80s it was really nice to get to see it. Sound mixing was really good for VHS piped from my JVC to my Pioneer.

Miss hearing @dbdugger.bsky.social talk about seroconversion. It explains my getting full-blown mono at 5 and why my T and B cells crash with COVID. I just wish doctors actually seemed to be interested in knowing if it's going to be permanent or just inescapable as I can't fight reinfection.

We always think the cats leave parts of the mouse for us, but it's really their warning to the other mice.

I liked his subtle side in the Changeling but "Turn it off" from Hardcore was hauntingly broken.
